It does sound like a nice place but stories like these are going to damage it especially since I'd say they rely heavily on tourism

Oh yeah.. you definitely have an "it'll never happen to me" attitude when younger which slowly turns into "actually it could very well happen to me" as you get older..
I think in under developed counties such as Mauritius though, the locals are just as cautious of you as you are of them and I always think some attempted communication, a smile and showing you appreciate their country goes a long way (that should apply in all countries)
I do think this sort f crime could have happened anwhere in the world though and yeah I do agree that it could affect their tourism which is obviously a huge thing for them..
